WHAT: Milloy’s shareholder proposal, Nuisance Shareholders,states on Page 56: “That the Company amend its bylaws to no longer permit shareholders to submit precatory (non-binding or advisory) proposals for consideration at annual shareholder meetings, unless the board of directors takes specific action to approve submission of such proposals.” The goal of his proposal is to call to task ExxonMobil management for it’s lack of fight against extremist ‘climate activists’ who are trying to bankrupt the oil & gas company. In his 2-minute presentation, Milloy will remind shareholders of ExxonMobil’s support of a carbon tax, their efforts to keep the United States in the economically disastrous Paris Accord, and other efforts the company is undertaking to appease a far-left group who advocates for the end of fossil fuel in America and the world.

WHERE/WHEN:ExxonMobil’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Wednesday, May 31, 2017, at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, Texas at 9:30 a.m. CT.

In a recent Investor’s Business Daily op-ed, Milloy Stated: “After years of its annual meeting being turned into a circus by fossil fuel-opposing climate activist shareholders and other activist pressure, Exxon Mobil is perhaps foremost among U.S. oil and gas companies that now advocate for government action on climate, and against its own products and the best interests of its own shareholders. Despite the November 2016 election of a presidential candidate who promised to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate treaty, called climate change hysteria a ‘hoax’ and who promised to unleash the U.S. energy industry after eight years of anti-fossil fuel policies, Exxon Mobil management not only openly supports the Paris climate treaty but also supports a ‘carbon tax.’ Both policies are intended to dramatically reduce if not eliminate fossil fuel use.
